VIDEO! THE EXPANSE’s Thomas Jane Moonlights as ‘The World’s Biggest Asshole’

“Even an asshole can save a life.”

Social media is EXPLODING with this hysterical and brilliant PSA announcement from Donate Life!

What does that have to do with The Expanse you might ask? EVERYTHING! The star of this public service video is none other than Thomas Jane, aka Detective Miller! Jane isn’t the only star involved in this inventive black comedy campaign. Will Arnett narrates the WBA’s shallow existence to the music of Coldplay.

Despite the absence of a fedora, I caught some Detective Miller vibes in Jane’s portrayal of  Coleman F. Sweeney! This video is a fantastic way to generate conversation on a difficult topic. Click here to register as an organ donor.

The campaign is a concept by Chris Mumford, of The Martin Agency, who has a personal connection with the organization since his brother received a heart transplant. Mumford teamed up with  directors Will Speck and Josh Gordon via the commercial production company, Furlined. Clearly this project struck a chord with a lot of incredibly talented people. Check out the credits below for full details!
